Bishop Joseph Vincent Sullivan

Joseph Vincent Sullivan was ordained in the Diocese of Kansas City in 1946. The Diocese of Corpus Christi said in its list that Sullivan visited the area. He died in 1982.

In 2009, a Nueces County judge ordered the Catholic dioceses of Baton Rouge and Corpus Christi to hand over records for a civil lawsuit alleging Sullivan abused a boy in Corpus Christi from 1978 to 1982, according to a Caller-Times article.

The man, who was a teenage student in the Baton Rouge minor seminary and the Corpus Christi Minor Seminary, said Sullivan would visit him in Corpus Christi. The lawsuit alleged the dioceses "failed to protect the boy," the article states.

"The man did not remember the abuse until within two years of the filing of the lawsuit in 2007, according to court documents. Attorney Johnny Garza said memories resurfaced in therapy the man underwent after his second marriage collapsed," the article reads.
